Stewards at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday confirmed that Sebastian
Vettel broke the pitlane speed limit by just 1.4kmh during the race.

The Red Bull driver and championship challenger was at the time challenging
the lead of Lewis Hamilton's McLaren, but after serving a drive-through
penalty he finished fourth with a mountain to climb to now win the title.

Vettel, 22, said he did not consciously surpass the 100kmh pitlane limit
and was surprised when told by radio that he had breached the rules.

"From my point of view, I wasn't in a rush and therefore I can't really
explain why I got caught -- we'll have to check if it's maybe an
electronic issue, but (the speed limiter) was working before and afterwards
so it's difficult to say.
